that we can, within reason. By intentionally placing
ourselves in ‘survival’ mode, then and only then can
the true humanity in all of us come through. To
know what I’m talking about, you must experience
one of these events on your own but, in short, it’s
something like this; When you crawl out of the
mud or come up a 1/2 mile, 45 degree hill through
the woods on your own and suddenly you are faced
with a 10 foot smooth wall covered in slimy mud
and no way climb it but you MUST go over it, you
MUST look to your left and to your right because at
that moment, no matter how big and bad you are,
everyone around you just became your best friend
and teammate and you inherently feel compelled to
return the favor. Through these crazy events I have
been introduced to and welcomed into so many
amazing groups that become your family. Groups
like Team MudRunFun, the Cornfed Spartans,
Midwest Vikings and Team Ninja to name a few and
all of these groups have a common theme. Nobody
This is why Crazy Mudder Muckers was created.
To give people a ‘family’ of sorts to turn to for the
support, help and camaraderie they need and want,
and to bring people together so that nobody has to
go to one of these events alone. It has grown into
more than I ever expected and I can’t wait to see
what the future holds for the group.
Our theme is ‘One Team … Many Goals’. We
have people from all ends of the fitness spectrum.
From beginners to advanced competitors and
when we show up to an event, there will always be
someone to run with. People that will help drive
you harder and faster to the finish line if that’s what
you want or people that will just run alongside,
enjoy your company and help you over the
next wall. We hope you can join us at
an event soon.
